Default Should I skim The Flywheel???

Cant work out if I should get the spare flywheel skimmed, or if I should use this one as is. There is no appreciable ridge where the flywheel is worn.

According to my new Exedy clutch kit, the warranty is void if you don't resurface the flywheel, lol.

I didn't do it, surface looked fine.

I've never bothered with any of mine even the 250,000 mile one looked OK.
But that was mostly motorway miles not that much gearchanging.

I would do it. Those look like hot-spots on your flywheel. 6 bolts and $30 at the machine shop = peace of mind.
